Down - When the Levee Breaks

[@bigdaddypiggy]

Phil's bark-growl-grunt at 1:41 is sooo fuckin badass....Down is rock&roll to the core,in its purest form....for selfish reasons I'm sorta glad they never got huge cuz I've been able to see them in small venues but on the other hand I think of all the people who like rock&roll yet have never heard Down,if they only knew what they were missing

[@fabiancarini1]

i prefer cyndi lauper

[@charles8060]

I seen Down with Crowbar at the Cannery in Nashville. I've been to 1000's of shows, that one was top 5 for sure.

[@houstonastros1]

Phil is a god. Pantera, Down, COC, Eyehategod, Crowbar are gods! We are certainly blessed to have this music in our lives!!!!!!!! Fuuuuuuukk yeah!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Soulflythemosthigh]

Can't believe I just now found this...Unreal cover!! Allhaildown! Hope this is released on the next album or dvd.

[@amandasmith4597]

Love Led Zeppelin so much! Good cover version, boys! ❤

[@GrimRiffer-69]

i know that's gotta be Pepper doing the slide, sick ass version!

[@carlastephens1114]

Oh, my God. I love this. This is epic. This is cataclysmic. This is magnificent. This is eerie. THANK GOD FOR LED ZEPPELIN !!!!

[@adamturner1563]

THANK SATAN FOR DOWN miss Stephens.

[@Anathematic667]

He sings it so fantasticaly

[@johnhansen4481]

They make this song their own. Excellent in every way. Can't believe it's been around since 08. Found it on Kyuss World

[@yoyohop]

i'm a big zep fan and very critical of covers, but this is bad ass and obviously heart-felt coming from a new orleans band...this NEEDS to be on their next album

I have to listen to this at least once per year, so awesome!

Thank you for being so edgy

A true Masterpiece!! Well done!! What a great cover! Long live Phil and RIP Dime!!

[@darkcoz8283]

The dirty sound is what makes it so great!

[@paintedpirate]

From Minnie to Zep, from Blackie to Phil and on to whoever covers it next; great song and great job keeping great music alive... and thanx to rawful for posting.

[@lockedine]

I love the end of the song where they just go mad and do whatever they want. I would love an entire Down album of Led Zeppelin covers.

[@loosebacontrails666]

Hail the Mighty Zeppelin!! Hail the Mighty Down!! Hail Music Forever!!

Real music :D

[@matschmoon399]

Down! Kick off show in Hamburg, Germany! All wallet chains confiscated, no nothing allowed. Dime experience for free.. And Phil was so scared and Kirk was such a great friend. And we all lived this with Phil..

[@pricha24]

this is so sick....Down simply is the best band out there and, in my humble opinion, will remain as such for quite some time to come.

[@qhfv2745]

Jack White is quoted as saying: "Led Zeppelin are an immovable force in music. I don't trust anyone who doesn't like them." Let. Those. Words. Sink. In. Btw, this version of "Levee" is heavy AF. Dang!

[@Noblesavage77]

Well fuck me. How am I just hearing this cover?!? Raised on Zeppelin and been with Down since Thier fuckin roots. Great tune, fellas. Hail 🤘🔥🤘

[@TreseGA]

I'm a huge LZ fan...seen them 77 at the Pontiac Stadium...been in love with Robert Plant all my life...so I'm a harsh critic on their music...but I have to say, I really like this version.

[@timmynator8036]

You are so lucky omg!!

[@capricorn1971ad]

try this version then and see if you like it even better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJeZgGNsip14la8

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYTHkIavfLB7h7c&ab_channel=rawful

[@ba47501]

I would like Down to cover the Nazareth, ‘Hair of the Dog’ album minus Love Hurts. Judas Me with Phil's pipes would be killer.

[@stargazer7262]

Yea

[@ColeyDuncan]

Hell yeah. I've been building a list in my head for over 20 years. I think it'd be easier to make a list of songs you wouldn't want to hear them cover.

[@creepingcrawley6520]

Thinking of that makes me shiver, like a DOWN covers album and a rerecord or something of this on it too. Imagine, they did say they were gonna hop back into the studio soon

[@CallingDoctorUnk]

I love the original by Kansas Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie, but it's always fun to hear cover versions that really take a song into different territory. Not bad, not bad at all.

[@reigninblood89]

For some reason, I can see Phils voice fitting perfectly with many a Zeppelin covers if they attempted more. But thats just my opinion...

[@ColeyDuncan]

Damn right. Just dirtier and heavier.

[@metalnut92]

Wow... just wow. Soon as I found out about this I had to hear it - I knew this would be an amazing cover, after how affected Down were by Hurricane Katrina. Phil sounds like Matt Pike here! A great tribute TO a great band BY a great band.

[@Crasous]

it's good to see that a new band respects the legends

[@elgronch8673]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYTHkIavfLB7h7c&ab_channel=rawful

[@Tyrantula4]

My favorite band covering my favorite Zeppelin track? My prayers has been answered!!

[@nwjones1]

I played this version every day we had high water from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Thanks for not breaking the levee's, Phil.

[@michaelstanislaus2586]

Awesome cover! Yeah the sound is a little much, but this wasn't designed to be pretty anyway. Love that gnarly sound.....

[@jessiewalker6918]

It's a live demo

[@mikedobson6253]

Can't believe I just found the fucking cover of this song

[@glitch8981]

Man not anything 0r anyone could haved do need this Le

[@glitch8981]

There is a heaven in new 0r

[@schechter01]

Blues metal...now I've heard it all. I dig this version, yeah. But it brings some interesting images to mind. (Have you _ever_ thought of Robert Johnson headbanging while playing a flying-V guitar??)

[@captainwungf]

Smoking a clove and totally feeling this. What a fucking ace cover.

[@lockedine]

He’ll yea it is

[@creepingcrawley6520]

This is a god send

[@TremontMC]

This song probably takes on a personal meaning to the band as they remain loyal to their New Orleans roots and they perhaps sing this song as it relates to the Katrina hurricane disaster of 05.

[@74starky]

Phil Anselmo is a metal god.Plain and simple.

[@anonbr666]

My favorite Led Zep song played by my favorite band. Some things just cant go wrong.

[@ericpirillo7260]

Perfect cover for a metal band from the gulf coast to do. Wwell done!

[@spinningindaffodils]

Zepplin's version sounds like the band is noticing a light thunderstorm outside while this version sounds like the Mississippi itself is flooding the studio

[@darcomics101]

this puts chills DOWN my spin

[@62swampboy62]

Mutha o Gawd, I would have loved to have been there when this was recorded. Chills, for real.

[@greenday9156]

Anyone knows where I can find this music in better quality ? On what Down album this song is ?

[@savagetilley2782]

I love this sooo much!!!!

[@butchvito]

You know Zeppelin re-worked this song. It was originally an old blues song by a fella by the name of Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie..... I like this Down cover too. It'd be cool to see them do a whole album of cover songs.

[@creepingcrawley6520]

Dickbrain McGee fuck yeah!! Imagine a down covers album, that would actually be sick asf

[@harrybrownridge3099]

@@creepingcrawley6520 Looks like we finally have our wish come true with recent announcements of the covers EP

[@elkepluntke3024]

wow ... i'm a great Zepps fan ... damn good cover version

[@abhishekverma1983]

Awesome cover! I just loved the heavy riffs on this one...and Phil doesn't sound himself! Great job on an already amazing song!

[@electriccreamman4977]

never heard Phil hit these registers

[@seanbob24]

yea he does a great job of covering plant...also phil is amazing at covering ozzy

[@darkcoz8283]

This has to be remastered now!!!!!

[@lockedine]

That was so awesome I have to play it again.

[@666slink]

This is great! This isn't a song I'd ever have thought them to cover. They make it their own though. Thanks for posting this!!!!!

[@delhidelirium9091]

This is some fucking killer cover , Phil is such a legend in the face of adversity .

[@Stanjik]

i came back to listen a second time and yea I hear phil more now. Honestly, the high notes and grittiness just doesn't sound like him. Almost like he's puttin on a voice! Touche, Mr, Touche

[@youarenottheparty]

thanks for educating people :)

[@johnciervo2384]

This tune is so fucking good it.... Pure aggression and attitude. Down kicks ass!

[@BobAround]

Had no idea my favorite Metal band covered my favorite Led Zeppelin song till today. This is fucking awesome.

@Belgdor Here in the south shoes are optional, as are shirts, its just how we're raised.

[@jwpowermedia199]

Hey guys! I have a question about using one of your songs in a highlight video. I am a professional motorsports videographer. I am interested in using this song in a short 1 minute highlight video.

[@johnleetay]

great vocals on this

[@fredsmith3650]

great cover.

[@FokkerTISM]

This is the heaviest song I've heard, and I've heard a lot of heavy stuff from Kyuss to NSBM bands.

[@arthur38379]

Slayer? Slipknot? Messuga? Megadeth? Even every other thing Phil has done lol heavy doesn't always mean good but i do like the cover just not super heavy

[@ramonchristian6739]

Yes kyuss is freakin heavy

[@tompetty832002]

it's a really old blues song. zep did by far the most famous arrangement of the song, and when people cover it, that is what they base the cover on.

[@overtheunder1987]

utter perfection...

[@daisyftw]

I think the drumming in the song Pillamyd is even more badass

[@cosmicmacaque]

True & powerfull blues rock!

[@youarenottheparty]

that rocks, dude!! thanks :)

this is so bad ass. LOVE IT \m/

Agreed Man, This song rocks

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't heard this before. Some badassery right here. \,,/ -_- \,,/

took me .5 seconds to decide i fucking love this version \m/

[@91rocker]

wow usually zep covers suck but this is a great cover!! i love it!!! wish it was on a cd

[@garygould3530]

All Led Zeppelin songs are covers -the ghoul

[@billyjoe420420]

DOWN could cover any song and it would be badass!

[@TheCfh4life]

The thing is, I can't imagine Phil playing a harmonica in this cover or at all. Still a good cover though.

[@VenstaMusic]

last months he's been getting better and better again, on sonisphere nijmegen, where I saw him live with down, he screamed as if it were Pantera in 1992.

[@docteurxanax2080]

kicks ass!

[@LaserGadgets]

Just download an utubetoMP3 converter and pull it from the tube dude. You wont find this on any CD....yet ;-)

[@manalishifilms]

THIS SHOULD HAVE 2.9MILL LIKES...COME ON...FUCKING BEAT T.SWIFT!!

[@joeprobst8551]

Hard as hell !!

[@soiled]

@bkm504 Phil produced the self titled album from Crowbar, and No Quarter was on it... I know my shit, and I know he wasn't in the band, but he worked with Crowbar on that disc.

[@lockedine]

Underrated as hell

[@FreddoX1]

To bad that this wasn't on Over the Under. It's maybe best this way, because now it's like a hidden golden gem for all fans :)

[@nirvhannahgarden]

lmao When the Levee Breaks was already a cover, one of an old blues song from 1929, and after hearing that one, barring Phil's vocals, this actually feels pretty faithful to it if you ask me

[@billsmith8822]

Ok........

[@cfhlmd]

fucking unbelievably epic!

[@Martinos1991]

Forgive my ignorance, but is this in regular EADGBE tuning? the Led Zep version isn't i know that, but i can play along to the main riff just fine in this version with my guitar which is tuned EADGBE.

[@MrBoozeBand]

it is a Drop-C tuning here mate ;) C-G-C-F-A-D

[@Martinos1991]

MrBoozeBand Thanks!

[@duskomales348]

HaveBeardWillTravel it doesn't matter,turn it up and wail fuck tunings,it's dadgad on the open slide,that's Jimmy Page's favourite open tuning.

[@electriccreamman4977]

HaveBeardWillTravel no, kind sir

[@duskomales9467]

No it's tuned down and open slide tuning doesn't matter,is not a good cover

[@darkcoz8283]

What a great cover! Great breakdown at the end. Just a dirty bluesy go fuck the world version. Everyone must hear this!!

[@capnkdawg]

I love this shit! Down is incredible, they take an old classic rock hit, and made it a great southern heavy song. Led Zeppelin is amazing, so is Down

[@phantomshtter]

@clix411 You labeled it "badass", not Down. They called it a "cover". Exactly what it is, like it or not.

[@abhishekverma1983]

@backdoorloverboy I think one of the reasons why I really love this version is because I did not expect them to cover Led Zep....You expect metal bands to cover other metal songs and black sabbath songs.....but it never occurred to me that they have/can cover Led Zep! Not trying to say that Led Zep were not heavy metal or anything but I hope you get my point....

[@hollowpoint3188]

Itd be fucking awesome if we could some how get a live version of this
